Cash Campfire

Seeing the website advertised literally everywhere on the Web, I automatically assumed that Project Payday was just another one of those scam websites that claim you’ll earn extra income online when you really won’t. So, I looked up more information on Google and found quite a lot of success stories where people claimed that they were making decent profit with Project Payday. Some members even claimed to make over $500 a month! This caught my attention, and I decided to test it out for myself, since the opportunity is free of cost and I had nothing to lose but time.

After opting to do the free offer, instead of paying the $34.95 fee to join, I went straight to the video tutorials and got started. The next hour, I had enough credits to receive $15 in earnings. In a few hours afterward, I received an email stating that $15 was deposited into my PayPal account.

What Exactly Is Project Payday?

Project Payday is a program designed to help you earn extra income online by signing up for promotional offers. Basically, Project Payday teaches you how to make money by completing offers and/or gathering referrals to complete those offers for you. Unlike CashCrate and FusionCash though, earnings are a lot better for the time spent and you can really make some decent money.

As a member of Project Payday, you have access to tons of videos describing the step-by-step process where you can make that $500 a month. The videos are very thorough, along with the other information in the member area. I highly recommend that you look at each video carefully after you join, so that you’re not left in the dust. There’s even a free bonus pack (if you do the free offer), which gives you access to 16 additional sources of information to further earning extra income online.

How Does It Work?

Besides from gathering Project Payday referrals, there are three methods to earning money with Project Payday, described more fully after you register on the website.

Method 1
This is where you start when you first join Project Payday. This method mainly consists of you completing offers for someone else in order to receive payment via PayPal. There are various forums where this transaction can be done, and Project Payday does a great job listing and explaining each forum. Once you choose a forum to work with, just search for a potential trader (there will probably be a “Beginners” area for those of you just starting out), set up a trade you’d like to complete, register for the website listed in the trade agreement via the Trade Manager, and complete offers until you have enough credits (usually 0.50 or 1 credit needs to be completed, where each offer is worth around 0.30 credits more or less). Then, you “go green” by letting your trader know that you have gotten credit for the offers you completed (should usually take an hour or two for the offers to be credited after completion) and your trader will give you money (the amount of money you earn is listed in the trade agreement) for completing the offers as his/her referral. Offers usually consists of free trials and promoted products to be bought. If you intend on taking advantage of the free trials, you should keep a list of all the trial offers you’re part of and don’t intend to keep, so that you won’t be charged after the trial ends. It’s also a good idea to wait until at least the 6th day of the free trial before canceling, in order to prevent credit from being taken away from you. Money earned can be anywhere from $15 to $50 per successful trade. It’s really quite simple and only takes about an hour to do each trade. In the end, your trader is happy because he/she gets paid for referring you and you’re happy because you get paid for completing offers for the trader.

Method 2
This method is mainly for more experienced traders who already know the basics (Method 1). In this method, tables are reversed and you are the trader paying people still in Method 1 to complete offers as your referral. Why would you want to pay people to be your referral? The money is just an incentive to help your referrals get the required credit so that you can earn cash prizes located on the website listing the offers. It’s a good idea to pay your referrals half of the money you’ll be making with the cash prize, or you can just look around the forums to see what other members are paying their referrals for the specific website you’re using. For example, if the cash prize is $400 and the requirement is 9 referrals, you pay each referral $22 ($400/2 = $200/9 = $22) and you’ll earn $200 for yourself in the long run. After using this method for a few websites, you should notice some nice cash flooding in.

Method 3
This method is basically the same thing as Method 2, only you’re recruiting referrals for gift prizes (such as an i-pod) rather than cash prizes. Gift prizes may be quite profitable if you sell each gift on eBay. The earnings you receive may vary however, so it could be difficult to decide how much you intend to pay each referral.

When Will I Get Paid?

If you’re earning your money from Project Payday referrals rather than other traders, you’ll be able to receive your payment via PayPal every Friday, as long as you make the $30 minimum requirement. If you don’t, your earnings will just carryover and continue adding up until you do. If you’re earning money from other traders, the time in which you’re paid will vary. Most traders are prompt, though, and you should get your earnings within 24 hours of the time you “go green”, or get credit for the offers completed.

Can International Users Join Project Payday?

No, unfortunately. Project Payday is only open to United States users.

Does Project Payday Have Any Cons?

As always, Project Payday isn’t perfect, and there are negative aspects of the money making technique that you should be aware of before deciding that you want to join.

• You need to be aware of free trial deadlines to prevent being charged. This can be a hassle, but it’s well worth the trouble, considering the money you’ll be making. Most often than not, you’ll encounter a free trial offer that you don’t really need, other than making the money from the offer once it’s completed. In this case, it’s necessary to keep a list of which free trial offers you do, so that you’re not charged after the free trial ends.
• You can’t cancel free trial memberships immediately after you receive credit for them. Promoters want you to at least try the services before you cancel. So, if you cancel too early after you receive credit, you may get that credit taken away. It’s a good idea to either cancel the day the trial ends or after the 6th day of the free trial period to be safe.
• Almost all of the offers available to complete will require some sort of cost. Most offers require you to purchase a certain product. Even if you do a free trial offer, it might require a small fee. However, you can find some completely free offers, though it won’t be easy if you plan to do offers for multiple websites. It’s not that bad, though, when you consider your potential profit. For example, if you complete 3 offers for a 0.50 credit $15 trade and you spent $5 on those offers, you’ll still be earning $10 overall. So, don’t be afraid to spend a little in order to make more.
• You might run out of offers. Most of the websites you sign up for from the trading forums you’re using will have the same offers more or less. Since you can’t do an offer twice, no matter if you did the offer on a different website or not, you might run out of good offers to do. In this case, just move on to Method 2 and start recruiting referrals.
• In order to refer others so that you can receive the gift or cash prize, you need to do a certain number of offers first. For example, some websites require you to complete 1 credit worth of offers and recruit a certain number of referrals in order to receive the prize. This is why you start off on Method 1, so that you can complete the required offers before moving on to Method 2 and recruiting referrals.

My Story

I haven’t been a Project Payday member long, but I’ve already received $30 for 2 hours of work, which isn’t bad at all. My main struggle is finding new offers to complete (that I don’t have to pay a large amount of money for) before I move on to Method 2. So far, besides eHow, Project Payday has been the best opportunity I’ve discovered to earn extra income online. I’m glad I was able to give Project Payday a chance.
